The Tragically Hip
"Heaven Is A Better Place Today"


Here's a glue guy a performance god
A makeshift shrine newly lain sod
Hardly even trying gives the nod

I sure hope I'm not the type to dwell
Hope I'm a fast healer fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today because of this
But the world is just not the same
If and when you get into the endzone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame don't say people lose people all the time anymore

A toonie to the busker and a husky 'keep it comin' under my breath
But then said, 'though, if you wouldn't mind,
less crying and more trying more trying and less crying'

I'm not the type to dwell
I'm a fast healer fast as hell
Heaven is a better place today because of this
But the world is just not the same
Oh if and - if and when you get into the endzone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't blame and don't say people lose people all the time anymore

If and when you get into that endzone
Act like you've been there a thousand times before
Don't change but don't say people lose people all the time anymore

It's just not the same because of this
It's not the same
